Photoshop CC 2019: Drop shadow changes distance from the object depending on the zoom level and I get green or red boxes over the image

The drop shadow changes distance from the object depending on the zoom level. Also, sometimes I get green or red boxes over the image that look like display problems, but then save out when I save a flattened version.

Would it be possible to get a copy of the psd file you're having trouble with? Want to see if we can produce the error here with 20.0.1. We thought all of the legacy blending issues were fixed for 20.0.1

Thanks Scott,To help our engineering team prevent this from occurring again, can you please temporarily uncheck the "Legacy Compositing" and take a screenshot of the issue? This would tremendously help us resolve your experience.Andrew

Here you go. I noticed that if you look closely at the G in Testing, it cuts off. Also, in the layers, if the smaller text is ABOVE the headline in the layers, the headline shadow doesn't change when zooming. But if it's below, both change when zooming. It's like it doesn't proportionally scale the shadow.

David, Sorry you're hitting this. Let us know if the same thing you're seeing. If so, we're looking into the issue. The workaround would be to to check "Legacy Compositing" under Preferences > Performance. Thanks

Shadows are fundamentally changed when resizing the image (psdprob.png")

I have set Photoshop to Lo resolution in the macOS Infobox about it, because I'm a webdesigner - Maybe that's the problem. Photoshop/Adobe does - after years! of retina - still not offer a better solution than this crippled one.

Conclusion: I cannot rely on Photoshop regarding the display of my work. I consider this a severe bug that needs an urgent fix.

I also just noticed a similar variant. I'm getting a cyan blue outline and banding with the drop shadow which is black, as if I've added a stroke option. Also, the mask used for the effect seems to be slightly different then the layer mask I've created--artifacts. I've tried with Legacy Compositing checked and unchecked and there does not seem to be a difference.

Yes. But curiously on my MBP 2015, the cyan banding in the drop shadow remains after Checking Legacy compositing and restarting PS, while on my Mac Pro with GTX1070 video card, there is no artifacting.

Hi Paul,We're sorry for the frustration. This sounds like a graphics discrepancy. Would you mind sharing your PSD file by DropBox or emailing it to me (sender@adobe.com)? That we can can do a fully analysis for you.
